Lying Under the Covers

Can anybody live this type of drama?
He said she said, catty gossip,
Feelings, lies, she lied about where she
Was last night at the party.
Enough -
There's a bigger problem here.
Don't stare so thoughtfully at the
Bottom of that glass, you're scaring me
Now; you pity, you badass, you bitch, you
Stretch the truth, wrapping yourself in it,
Hiding as if we'd never seen you
Underneath.

You're alone in your living room, looking down
Its neck as though it were an endless telescope
Showing you all the fucked
Up things in your life,
Don't close the shutter yet.
I want to see you, but I cannot lie
For you anymore.
I want to laugh ... it's funny!
You still think this has something
To do with your sexuality.
Jesus Christ who gives a shit?
No. We should all have just gone to bed
That night, and forgotten all this mess.
But I guess you already knew that answer;
No balls to pull the trigger though.
